The Genesis Era

The old days that started Chrome Music and YUM YUM. More producer than consumer. Everything fresh.

She ain’t heavy…

Funkee Homosapian (Deltron 3030)

If a picture paints a thousand words then here’s something to keep your eyes busy… Ali McLeod is a British photographer living in New York City. Graduate of the world famous New School (Parson’s College NYC) Ali has photographed her fair share of the city’s hip hop fraternity, and has published in magazines such as High Times. I think her work is fantastic… (but then I would… she’s my sister… ssshhh!) I hope you all do too.

If you would like to check out more of Ali’s work and show some love, head on over to her site and say hello!

YUM YUM Berlin – this friday, march 27th @ Scala

“Now here’s a funky introduction of how nice i am,

tell your mother, tell your father, send a telegram…â€?

After Februaries killer YUM YUM in Berlin its time for another roundup of the finest.

This Friday March 27th we’ll throw a huge YUM YUM in Berlin @ Scala, in case you have forgotten how huge the last one was – we can still recall people smiling at the end of the night, instead of being just wasted, with even the bartenders going APE SHIT all night long. Djs for that night will be Chrome, Passion & Special Guest: Peshay with an all-exclusive non-drum-n-bass-set!!. (think top friend) along Mc Motive & a special warmup by Robot Koch of Jahcoozi fame. The 1st floor will be the 1-year anniversary of the Candy Club, hosted by San Gabriel, Lilly Flip & my man Keaton, hailing from London. All that and more hosted by YUM YUM Berlin mastermind Schowi who seems to be holding down all of Berlin recently. Here is the link -  to the Party on Facebook: YUM YUM Berlin Friday march 27th and of course the Facebook YUM YUM Berlin Group which still has to grow… Anyway you are in for a major treat, so see you this Friday at Scala @ a very, very massive YUM YUM in Berlin @ Scala. Please make sure to show up early..

Raphael Saadiq @ La Bellevilloise, Paris

“Raphael Saadiq truly knows how to get down and GROOVE. His show for the now infamous “NUITS ZEBREES” parties by Radio NOVA at the Bellevilloise in Paris was a massive hit. The place was completely “souled out” with a French audience that was having an unusually VIBRANT and JOYFUL day! His music & the show’s vibe fit his wardrobe: classy, oldschool, and oozing sensuality. Killer show.” via grandcrew.com.
